UPS Testing Truck-Launched Delivery Drone
The delivery via drone dream is a cool idea but has many hurdles to overcome. The biggest one is the range of said drones. I don’t imagine we will see drones delivery from warehouse to homes/businesses anytime soon. With that said, UPS’ latest approach seems like a great idea. The plan is to have a […]

Wino Sippers?
Wino Sippers (2 for $22) look like a smoking pipe but are for sipping your wine of choice. Basically a wine glass with a built-in straw to help from staining your teeth I guess. Another solution searching for a problem or the perfect white elephant gift?
